What the thread or the ride?

Personally I find it quite hard to get excited about the rights and wrongs of a ride aimed at very small children

IMO it's attitudes like that that led to Noddy being banned from TV for most of my childhood because of the golliwogs...

Plenty of other more important things to get uptight about if you feel the need.

Like at Legoland Windsor - the Lego driving school has speed cameras on it's road network.

I think its because its a speed camera for gawd sakes! Why would a little kid possibly be thinking about speeding, he wouldn't, the kid would probably prefer a traffic light that takes a photo & not a speed camera.

But speed cameras are our friends & we should learn to love them

Besides...since when do Gatsos take a pic from the front, I believe the whole ride is mis-leading & promotes children to smile & grin & laugh instead of what they should be doing, which is to concentrate on their driving & the hazzards around them. (like other kids running in the road)

Oh & I just thought of another thing! At last, it's proof...

Accident blackspot? My arse. Thats placed there purely for revenue

I doubt the kids just a monkeys, they just want a ride...

Putting adult values onto kids is what gets kids thrown out of nursery for calling another kids a "spastic" or something similar.

I think the place is an accident blackspot though, getting through the lines of buggies and mobility scooters outside the post office is always touch and go

Will I get into trouble if I get my pic taken sticking 2 fingers up to the camera?

Might give it a whirl tomorrow...
